Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 24th October 2015Alan Davies on gardening
Growing up, I was lucky to have a very nice garden at the house where we lived in suburban Loughton in Essex. My father is a big sports lover so we had a goal net and cricket stumps and a swing. He would mark out, somewhat optimistically, a badminton court to try to get us to play badminton, too.
